measureing bowstring

[R.L.Boone]

How do you measure a bowstring from tip to tip of loop from the middle of the loop or the inside of loop?

[SCATTERSHOT]

Typically, the string is measured at full length outside to outside of the loops around 1/4" dowels, as I understand it.

Depends on where you are getting one from, but the "proper" way is like SS said, but under tension.  50# of tension for dacron strings 10 strands or less, all others under 100# of tension.
